That white '75 70 series is the exact machine I bought with my mom. We got it for its "Quiet Pak" system, and it did live up to its name in that regard. Even quieter during agitation than its Maytag contemporaries. The Penta-Swirl agitator added to the quietness. Much as I wanted to get a Maytag, they were far too expensive with a stripped down model of much smaller capacity costing the same or more as the 70 series. For 25 years of service, Mom got her money's worth out of the Kenmore.
As for only three water levels on the pair you're getting, don't expect a whole lot of range from them. While my mom's machine had infinite water level, the lowest setting still filled the tub almost half way.
Beware of any spray stain removers. They'll also remove the paint from the dial face and (70 series) simulated wood panels.

when I was in high school...
....we had a 1959 Kenmore-when my Dad built their new house in 76, they got a new washer just like the 70 series pic by Kenmoreguy- It is still there- I replaced the belt & pump on it in 2000- My Dad does maybe four loads a week in it-next to it is a kenmore dryer, a 700 series ( I think..) which they bought in December 69-I want replace the motor in it again, it has the old style square motor, & its gettin loud again-its also kinda dented on the top of the cabinet, cause the attic hatch it above it...

Gordon,
Was starting to wonder what was happening with those machines. I'm so glad they are on their way. You will not be dissapointed with them in the slightest bit! They should make excellent daily drivers.
I'm like you Gordon in that I remember seeing several of these Kenmores over the years and I always admired this control panel design. I like the simplicity of the agitator also. Just no frills but great style and features.
Please keep me updated on their arrival to your home. You have every reason to be excited because they are quite beautiful!

yes those machines are very nice i hope you post videos of them on youtube after you get them. yeah the gold agitator is huge never knew they ever made one that size. my mom's first automatic kenmore had the black one that you all call bakelite (not sure what that means and if some one could explane it to me i would appreciate it) then in 1970 she got a gold one that was the size of the white one in the picture above.
elusive 75's...
Congrats to you Gordon!
